These campaigns also pushed the message that global attention — in particular, resources from the West — would shift from Ukraine to the Middle East.
The institute cited examples like Russian TV host Sergey Mardan stating in his Telegram channel that the West “will take its mind off Ukraine for a while and get busy once again putting out the eternal fire in the Middle East.”

And the world will be turning a blind eye as they finally get to build their fascist apartheid
